Construction Activities for West Extension

October 2023

As part of the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, the westbound Transitway and the sidewalk between Algonquin Station and Woodroffe Avenue will be closed allowing crews to continue work related to the new pedestrian bridge.

What

Closure of the westbound Transitway and sidewalk between Algonquin Station and Woodroffe Avenue.

When

Tuesday, October 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Why

Preparation for concrete work related to the new pedestrian bridge at Algonquin Station.

Where

Work will be located on the Transitway, between Algonquin Station and Woodroffe Avenue.

October 2023

As part of the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit (LRT) project’s Cut & Cover Tunnel construction, sections of Byron Avenue will be temporarily closed for the pouring of concrete and deliveries. Each pour requires 10 to 15 hours to complete as well as to stage delivery vehicles, cranes, and concrete trucks. Please note that concrete pours must be performed continuously until completed to ensure the quality of the concrete.

In addition, station construction is underway at New Orchard and Sherbourne Stations until winter 2024-2025. Temporary closures on Byron, near those two stations, will also be periodically required for stations work.

What

Byron Avenue continues to require *daylong closures of approximately one block to allow for work staging as the Cut and Cover Tunnel progresses. The sidewalk on the south side of Byron Avenue will remain open and accessible. Traffic will be detoured around the established work zone. Flag persons will be onsite, as required.

*Cranes and equipment will be demobilized at the end of each day, reopening Byron Avenue to general traffic.

When

Concrete works are ongoing and anticipated weekly throughout 2023.

7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Note that pours may extend beyond the end time.

Road closures begin with the mobilization of the delivery vehicles, cranes, and concrete trucks as well as the temporary road closure. Please note that KEV is targeting 10:00 p.m. completion time (5:00 p.m. on Sundays) per occurrence, however, as mentioned each pour will proceed until completed and may proceed into the night.

Why

A crane, as well as several delivery vehicles and concrete trucks, will be staged to accommodate the work on the Byron Tunnel. The size of the equipment and nature of the operations require daylong closure of a section of Byron Avenue.

*Construction vehicles are not permitted on residential streets and flaggers are utilized to ensure vehicles adhere to this City and Project requirement.

Where

Work will occur via Byron Avenue between New Orchard and Sherbourne Avenues.

Anticipated Impacts

Traffic will be restricted from travelling on Byron Avenue, and the cross-street where the work is occurring and will be redirected around the work zone.

Pedestrian mobility will be maintained using the south sidewalk on Byron Avenue.

Residents can expect noise from delivery vehicles, concrete trucks, and cranes.

The safety of the public and workers is paramount, and we thank you for your patience during construction.

July 2023

Dear resident,

As part of the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, Iris Street between Parkway Drive and Adirondack Drive is temporarily closed to general traffic.

In addition to the ongoing daytime construction, night work is required to shift the temporary construction barriers (TCB). Night work is scheduled to take place between:

• Thursday, July 27 at 11:00 p.m. to Friday, July 28 at 5:00 a.m.
• Monday, July 31 at 11:00 p.m. to Tuesday, August 1 at 5:00 a.m.
  • * The TCB relocation work is not expected to take the entire night to complete and disruption to residents is expected to be minimal.

Please note that during the TCB shifting night work, Iris Street will be closed to all traffic including OC Transpo. Access to both northbound and southbound Adirondack Drive will be closed at Iris Street and the intersection will not be available to the general public while contractors relocate the TCBs.

Iris Street will reopen over the weekend to accommodate local traffic in accessing the neighbourhood during the installation of the Queensview Pedestrian Bridge. The installation necessitates a full closure of Highway 417 between Woodroffe and Pinecrest from Friday, July 28 at 9:00 p.m. until Monday, July 31 at 6:00 a.m. Please note that in response to community concerns and requests, “local traffic only” signs will be posted along Iris Street.

After the Highway 417 reopens and the TCBs are reinstalled, work will resume on Iris Street, as per the Iris Street – Update letter dated July 19, 2023.

Thank you for your understanding, and please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions.

July 18, 2023

Dear Resident,

As you are aware, as part of the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, Iris Street between Parkway Drive and Adirondack Drive is temporarily closed to general traffic and is scheduled to reopen in the Fall of 2023.

This closure is necessary to perform utility relocations and renewals to improve the quality of drinking water in response to community concerns and requests, as well as to complete road work.

Progress to date includes:

• The installation of the watermain on the south side of Iris Street at Adirondack has been completed and is being tested. Currently, the plan is to tie it in to the main system this week, (dependent on City crew availability) and tie-in local services next week.

Did You Know?

The City of Ottawa’s streets cover a labyrinth of utilities that service every home, business, institution, and everything in between.

Did you know Iris Street and the Pinecrest Creek Corridor are two intersecting utility corridors that allow the passageway for many different utilities that service your community and beyond? Above and below the surface, these two corridors house water, sewer, sanitary, telecommunication, electricity, and gas infrastructure. Corridors allow for the grouping of utility lines in a single, accessible space, eliminate conflicts between those lines, minimize or eliminate trenching and reduce or eliminate manholes.

As part of the Stage 2 LRT project, the Pinecrest Creek, and existing City owned, and third party owned utilities had to be relocated to allow for the conversion of the Transitway to the LRT Guideway and the construction of Iris Station.

Upcoming work includes:

• Traffic will be relocated to the south side of Iris Street on the weekend of July 22/23. This will require a full closure overnight (10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.) of Iris Street between Adirondack Avenue and the Transitway to shift traffic control barriers (TCBs). Local traffic will be allowed through, however, not from the south side (northbound) of Adirondack.
  • Paving will precede the shifting of the TCBs.
  • Once this occurs, general traffic will be able to access and egress Adirondack (south of Iris) to and from Woodroffe Avenue.
• Sanitary sewer work will begin shortly after shifting TCBs and is anticipated for approximately six weeks. 
• Iris Street will be open to two-way traffic from July 28 to July 31 during the Highway 417 full closure for the installation of the Queensview Pedestrian Bridge, just east of Pinecrest. Iris Street will then revert to OC Transpo access only until the Fall of 2023. 
• In early August, electrical work will take place for approximately one week. 
• Reinstatement of roads and sidewalks, by the Fall of 2023 (with the exception of work required for installation of an Enbridge gas line). Please note that these works are not yet scheduled.

This work is nearly complete and the final phase of relocating and installing new utilities (water, sewer, power, gas, telecommunication) to supply Iris Station is underway. In addition to Station related works, the Iris Street watermain is being replaced, in response to community concerns and requests to improve the quality of drinking water for area residents.

It is anticipated that in the fall of 2023, Enbridge will install natural gas to Iris Stations’ switch heaters. In addition, as Iris Station works progress, telecom will also be connected.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions.

The construction work outlined in this notice is subject to change. Work may be delayed or extended due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Kìchì Sìbì Station area was handed over to the station constructor PCL and they will begin to mobilize on-site as early as June 12, 2023. With the beginning of station construction, there will be lots of construction activities taking place in the area. 

Station Construction

The first step in constructing an LRT station is the longest and most labour intensive; the concrete stage. At this stage, the concrete slabs that will serve as the station’s main concourse are poured and the concrete walls are erected.

This is where the next stage in the process, the structural phase, begins. The steel pieces used to create the framework of the station are 3D modelled in advance, to ensure they fit perfectly into place.

After the steel structure is completed, work begins to install the roofing, exterior walls and the mechanical and electrical rough-ins. LRT stations have four main rooms: mechanical, electrical, communication, and signal control. During this stage, these rooms are outfitted with the necessary equipment required for the operation of the train system.

Once the electrical and mechanical foundation is set, the finishing work can begin. This work involves closing interior walls, installing fixtures, and completing exterior finishes that include glazing (windows) and cladding. Communications features including the public address (PA) systems and television screens, as well as landscaping, are some of the last items to be completed.

The site will be accessed from various points depending on the type and location of the work being performed. Station construction access is expected to be from the SJAM, Westboro Station, and Berkley/Dominion.

A tower crane will be used to maximize efficiencies and minimize community impacts from construction. Tower cranes are commonly used in construction, with several currently in use in Westboro. Rather than being located on the periphery of the construction zone closer to homes, the tower crane will be installed inside the guideway trench (between Dominion/Berkley and Workman Ave).

Once installed, the tower crane at Kichi Sibi Station area will be in place until approximately August 2024.

Other infrastructure that will be installed as a part of the station includes a Traction Power Substation (TPSS). TPSS are spread approximately equidistant across the alignment to balance the electrical load. TPSS are approximately the size of a shipping container (15m long, 5m wide, 4m high). The noise is minimal and there are no environmental impacts. The TPSS will be installed in the trench at track level just west of the station.

In addition to station construction, there will be other work taking place in and around the Kìchì Sìbì Station area to complete the Stage 2 West Extension. This work includes guideway construction (on-going), rock breaking, utilities installation, track installation), wire installation (overhead catenary system, signaling, train control), and testing and commissioning.

At this time, station construction is expected to be completed by early 2025 and substantial completion for the Stage 2 West Extension is anticipated for the end of 2026.

Anticipated Impacts

Noise and vibration from trucks and heavy equipment is expected. Noise and vibration monitoring will be performed throughout the work.

Construction activities include:

• Rock breaking, excavation and hauling
• Delivery of materials and equipment
• Hoisting work using crane operations
• Concrete form work and pouring
• Structural steel installation and welding operations
• Underground services
• Mechanical and electrical installation
• Street sweeping and snow clearing
• Site lighting

Station construction activities typically occurs on weekdays, during daytime hours:

• Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. 

Night work is only permitted with an approved Noise By-law Exemption. At this time, the only activities approved overnight at Kichi Sibi Station area are the operation and maintenance of pumps, refueling, dewatering, and housekeeping activities.

Vehicular, cyclist and pedestrian mobility will be maintained. Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized detours are in-place, to ensure safety.

The City of Ottawa thanks residents for their patience as we work to complete these construction activities.

December 2022

In April 2022, the Transitway between Bayshore Mall and the Pinecrest interchange was closed for construction of the LRT guideway. Buses were detoured off the Transitway, onto Highway 417. As a part of this detour, buses traveling eastbound exit Highway 417 at the eastbound Pinecrest off ramp.

For this detour to be effective, the closure of Ashley Street was required. Ashley Street is a high contributor to the volume of vehicles using the Pinecrest off ramp. The interaction between these vehicles and traffic exiting the highway, including OC Transpo buses, would present a safety concern as well as create significant traffic and transit delays. During the closure, signed traffic detours will be in effect directing traffic from Ashley Street to Lisa Avenue, and to turn left from eastbound Lisa Avenue onto northbound Greenbank Road. It is anticipated Ashley Street will reopen upon the conclusion of the transit detour.

In consideration of the impacts of the Ashley Street closure on traffic in the area, improvements were made at the Lisa Avenue and Greenbank Road intersection. A left turn lane was added on Lisa Avenue to accommodate the extra volume of traffic detouring from Ashley Street.

The Stage 2 project appreciates your understanding and patience while we work towards completing this exciting project together.

Motorists should adhere to detours, traffic control signage, posted speed limits, allow for added travel time and use extra caution when moving through active construction corridors as traffic patterns change.

Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized detours are in-place, to ensure safety.

The construction work outlined in this notice is subject to change. Work may be delayed or extended due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the Stage 2 LRT project. The Stage 2 team makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require special accommodation, please contact stage2@ottawa.ca.

The safety of the public and workers is paramount, and we thank you for your patience during construction.

Future work is required in this area. Additional construction updates, such as changes to work sequencing and the duration or impact of this work will be communicated via the Stage 2 project e-newsletter.

The Stage 2 LRT team will undertake significant construction activities on the O-Train West extension in preparation for future tracks and stations. Starting overnight on November 1, Highway 417 westbound off-ramp to Pinecrest will be closed until fall 2023 to safely complete construction of the future LRT that will run along the existing Transitway corridor, on the north side of Highway 417. The guideway will run in a trench underneath Pinecrest Road and Moodie Drive. Select ramps at these locations must be re-built and/or shifted in order to accommodate construction activities for the guideway.

Construction activities have been scheduled to minimize the duration and extent of impacts on all modes of transportation and the local community. Cycling and pedestrian routes will remain open during construction. The final design includes some enhanced connectivity features at some locations, such as new sidewalks and multi-use pathways. For each closure, signed vehicle detours and variable portable message signs (VPMS) will be provided.

When: Until December 22, 2023
